Small crimes always precede great crimes. Whoever has been able to transgress the limits set by law may afterwards violate the most sacred rights; crime, like virtue, has its degrees, and never have we seen timid innocence pass suddenly to extreme licentiousness.
He who will travel far spares his steed.
Can a faith that does nothing be called sincere?
Thank the Gods! My misery exceeds all my hopes!
My only hope lies in my despair.
I am a man, and nothing that concerns a man do I deem a matter of indifference to me.
